All About Jazz's Approach to Content and Editorial Culture
All About Jazz (AAJ) is dedicated to maintaining a professional, consistent, and high-quality platform that elevates jazz journalism while respecting the unique voices of its contributors. With nearly three decades of operation, AAJ adheres to a rigorous editorial style guide that ensures clarity, professionalism, and search engine optimization, fostering a polished presentation that distinguishes the platform from casual blogs. Our editorial culture emphasizes precision in formatting—such as standardized titles, proper link tagging for musicians and venues, and avoidance of contractions or personal pronouns—to enhance readability and accessibility. While we enforce these standards to minimize editorial workload and maximize article impact, we remain committed to preserving each writer’s individual voice, offering constructive feedback to refine submissions without altering their essence. This balance of consistency, quality, and contributor authenticity underscores AAJ’s mission to present jazz content in its absolute best light, benefiting both our writers and our global readership.And with over 50 different topic categories, All About Jazz offers extraordinarily diverse content that ranges from recording and concert reviews, to in-depth interviews with jazz artists, and deep dives into jazz history, jazz culture, jazz theory, jazz pedagogy, and other topics, all accessible to a generalist reader.
